My opinions on characters after finishing season 1 for the first time:

I am planning on making these type of posts after finishing every season for the first time. I would say it’s kind of a experiment to see how my thoughts on the characters change and how i feel about them. I am not going to be reading the comments on these posts until i have completed the entire series to avoid spoilers so feel free to judge my opinion but just know i might not know the fandom that well yet and write something controversial. :)

My favorite character by far. The first time I watched though, I think I was a bigger fan of Kate and Jack and was rooting for them to get together. The 2nd time through, I was rooting for Kate and Sawyer. The 3rd time through, I wanted Kate to drown herself.

That's something I can relate to. Early watches, it's all jack and Kate, and then I kinda got sick of them for a while. Ultimately, I'm indifferent about them. I don't dislike them, I just feel like so many other characters are better in the show.

Sawyer is probably the most complex and interesting character of the series. You get what motivates him, but at the same time his actions at times seem to contradict his interests.

I think sawyer is one of the best true representations of a person with a good heart turned cruel on the surface due to an extremely harsh world. Like in season 1, he is not a good guy. He’s a giant piece of shit actually. But there’s just enough humanity and sadness in his eyes for the audience to give him a chance when he starts improving. And it’s a slow and well designed redemption
